Tape-Based Positioning Systems TAPE-BASED POSITION SYSTEMS The magnetic tape-based position reader is a simple and efficient elevator positioning device. Its installation eliminates the need for mechanical switches. The magnetic sensor system uses magnets mounted on the tape to determine the position of the car. This makes for a very quiet system. Adjusting this system vertically and horizontally is simple thanks to the proposed mounting system. For more accuracy, some models are equipped with optical sensors that provide position readings using a perforated tape. This also gives these systems a greater flexibility with regards to programming the car’s slowdown distances. CHARACTERISTICS Replaces mechanical switches; More precise than mechanical switches; Mounting system available; Easy adjustment; Durability and reliability. SPECIFICATIONS Supply voltage: 24 VCC or 120 VAC Current consumption: 100 mA Output contacts: 24 VDC to 120 VAC, 200 mA
